Maui Jim mens Local Kine Rectangular Sunglasses

I'm loving these sunglasses. I have a large head (size 7.5 or XL hat) and these fit very well. They clasp the sides of the head nicely and will not slide off. The size and shape of the lenses ensures a good fit around the eyes (snug but not too tight), and the wide temples block a considerable amount of light coming from the sides. For the record, my wife tried them on and they seem to fit her smaller, narrower face well as well. A gift idea for her birthday? That suggests that these glasses might be a bit too snug for those with really big noggins (size 8+). These glasses are incredibly light, perhaps the lightest Maui Jim sunglasses I've ever owned except for pair of Breakwall that are rimless. The frame is a glossy black plastic on the outside, and a soft textured grey inside that makes handling these glasses strangely sensual. (Yes, I'm weird.) Non-slip material is used where the glasses sit on the nose and above the ears. As I lifted these glasses off my nose for the first time, they made a slight popping sound. These glasses will not likely slip, though I haven't yet tried them under conditions where I might be perspiring heavily. I chose the blue lenses because I thought they would brighten and saturate reds and greens but darken blues, including the sky, and that is exactly what they do. That is how I like to look at the world. All and all, these sunglasses seem well engineered and of good quality. Stylistically, I think them handsome and sporty. They have become my new favorite Maui Jim's. Regarding price, they are the most expensive sunglasses I've ever purchased, but I think the value is good. You generally get what you pay for, after all.

After many attempts with cheaper sunglasses, I decided to go back to my long-ago favorite Maui Jim's. It's a world of difference. Super clear, polarization works beautifully. I can read with them on, even in the brightest sunlight. The UV blocking works as advertised (as proven by my sunburn "mask" recently). I love the mirroring effect and distinctive blue color. I've included cropped photos of how these sunglasses fit on my large noggin (L/XL hat-size). There's also a clever new case that's barely larger than the sunglasses, very lightweight (but sturdy) and folds completely flat. A vast improvement over the bulky old cases. Honestly I cringed at spending this much on sunglasses (and why brand-name sunglasses cost so much is an interesting story unrelated to this review) but the quality is notably, palpably better than even 50-100 dollar models. Glass lenses instead of plastic make a huge difference in refraction. The build is solid. But one word of advice? Get some sunglass "keepers" (cord that fits the ends of the earpieces) so your expensive new purchases with glass lenses doesn't end up on the ground (or in the ocean). Recommended.

I recently purchased the Maui Jim Local Kine sunglasses in shiny black frames with grey lenses, and I couldn't be happier with my choice! The design is incredibly versatile, seamlessly complementing both casual and polished outfits. I absolutely love the color combination of shiny black, grey, and maroon— it gives them an upscale and sophisticated look. Comfort is key, and these sunglasses deliver; they fit perfectly without any pressure points, so I often forget I'm wearing them. The polarized lenses provide outstanding clarity and effectively reduce glare, enhancing colors and depth perception. They excel in bright lighting conditions and offer excellent sun protection. Additionally, so far, the durability is impressive. While they’re not the cheapest option, the fact that these sunglasses are priced under $300 is remarkable given their exceptional quality. Highly recommended!

Good quality

these glasses are very good quality the only thing that has worn out s the rubber nose cushes that sit on your nose they tear off.am hoping the manufactor has replacement for these glasses.

Maui Jim Sun Glasses are The Best . I have not found anything Like Them. The very Best Thanks Amazon The Absolute Best

Do Not buy. Nose pieces fall off very quickly and there is no repair. You are wasting your money. Once the nose pieces are gone which is a 100% chance the sunglasses are very uncomfortable. Maui Jim will replace them but they give you no glue to fasten them and they fall off immediately after repair. Buy any sunglasses but Maui Jims.

Very nice and included a case.
